Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)

"Noyce has worked wonders with the material."

Random Hearts (1999)

"Harrison Ford does some of his best work ever in Sydney Pollack's marvelous new thriller, Random Hearts."

Ratatouille (2007)

"This is an animated movie that's been made for adults, although kids probably will enjoy it, too."

Read My Lips (2002)

"Overall, it's the best French thriller since With a Friend Like Harry two years ago."

Rear Window (1954)

"Don't resist the urge -- steal a peek at it now, and be reminded why Hitchcock is still without equal in the clammy thrills department."

The Recruit (2003)

"Unfolds more like a 100-minute game of Gotcha! than a conventional spy drama, and, depending on your tolerance for such things, this will either thrill or bore you."

Red Lights (2004)

"This French ... opens so promisingly that it's tres tragique when, two-thirds along, it makes a U-turn into the melodramatic and maudlin."

Reign Over Me (2007)

"When Binder isn't stuck on message, the picture has a breezy, inconsequential charm. But in at least two unforgivably manipulative scenes the movie asks us for feelings that it has not yet earned."

Remember the Titans (2000)

"Insufferable."

The Replacements (2000)

"The games, while plenty rowdy and profane, aren't very realistic."

Resident Evil (2002)

"Forgettable horror -- more gory than psychological -- with a highly satisfying quotient of Friday-night excitement and Milla power."

Return to Me (2000)

"Return to Me may win your heart, but it will probably try to stick it in somebody else's body."

Reunion (2002)

"This melodrama is so trite you'll be mouthing lines a beat before the characters."

Riding Giants (2004)

"Catching the perfect wave may not be something most of us will ever do, but it's comforting to know that somebody is out there catching it for us."

The Ring Two (2005)

"Doesn't make a lot of sense, but Watts reaches down into a well of her own resolve and somehow makes it work."

Rize (2005)

"Rize is uplifting without being manipulative, and if -- at 85 minutes -- it is a little longer than it needs to be, LaChapelle is clearly committed to giving these dancers every possible moment of glory."

The Road to El Dorado (2000)

"DreamWorks has produced state-of-the-art computer animation but forgotten the state of the heart."

Robots (2005)

"The picture feels less like the carefully thought-out stories of animated movies such as Finding Nemo and Shrek than a stand-up comedy routine with illustrations."

Rocky Balboa (2006)

"What makes this vanity project so pleasurable is that Stallone has written a script filled with wit, and even self-deprecation. In the end, there's no quit in Rocky Balboa. More alarmingly, there appears to be none in Sylvester Stallone."

The Rookie (2002)

"The film goes beyond being just another sappy, come-from-behind baseball yarn to score as an easygoing ode to modest, forestalled dreams."

Roving Mars (2006)

"That's about what it plays like: a gigantic commerical for more space travel, from a contractor who stands to benefit financially if we go, and a government agency whose budget is threatened."

Rumor Has It... (2005)

"Rumor Has It doesn't seem to realize who its most interesting character is and spend some time with her. Coo, coo, ca choo, Mrs. Robinson. Here's to you."

Runaway Jury (2003)

"Lacks that certain je ne sais quoi that separates a superior courtroom drama from a slick, competent one."

Running Scared (2006)

"If Running Scared sometimes looks like a storyboard sprung violently to life, Kramer's assured direction turns that into its greatest strength in the clinches, of which there are plenty."

RV (2006)

"RV is a movie founded upon a single, gigantic, gas-guzzling joke, which is then sliced 98 ways during each excruciating minute of its running time: that people who ride around the country in garishly colored land barges are inherently funny."
